Leaver provisions and vesting are essential mechanisms for protecting a company's interests when shareholders leave.
Leaver provisions distinguish between good leaver events (beyond a shareholder's control) and bad leaver events (fault on the part of the shareholder).
Vesting is the process by which shareholders earn their equity over time or by achieving specific milestones.
Implementing both leaver provisions and vesting can protect the company, ensure long-term commitment, and create a motivated workforce.
